An integral formula for generalized Gegenbauer polynomials and Jacobi polynomials (Q1865266)

In this interesting paper the author studies generalized Gegenbauer polynomials that are orthogonal with respect to the weight function \(|x|^{2\mu}\) \((1-x^2)^{\lambda- {1\over 2}}\). First, an important integral formula is established for these polynomials that serves as a transformation between \(h\)-harmonics of different parameters and contains several well-known results as its special cases. The main findings of the paper are new and have useful applications in proving the positivity of certain sums of generalized Gegenbauer and Jacobi polynomials.
